Interesting thread. After selling my house in April, I have finally taken possession of my condo. For the last 5 months, most of all my "stuff" has been in a 10' x 20' storage unit or a safe deposit box 35 miles from where I've been staying.

I don't miss any of it. Well, I did have access to my Camaro and enjoyed it all summer.

This winter, a lot of my "collections" are going to be sold. Will I hold on to some of the stuff? Sure, but only to the point where they are displayed (for sentimental reasons) or used on a regular basis.

I wear my SS GMT every day and (strangely, to me) a PAM on weekends. I'll certainly keep these 2 (for now) but all the rest could really go. It surprises me, as the DeepSea is still my favorite, but I simply don't wear it. I haven't worn either of my TT GMT's (the watch that really started my collection) in probably a year. It's fun and I continue to meet cool people through this hobby. I still plan to go to GTG's, most of the people in this hobby are really the gems I've come across in my watch habit.
